IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

THIS PRODUCT MUST BE GROUNDED.

This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment–grounding

conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into

anappropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in

accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER

Improper connection of the equipment–grounding conductor can

result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualiﬁ ed electrician or

serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly

grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product – if it

will not ﬁ t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualiﬁ ed

electrician. This product is for use in a nominal 120 volt circuit, and has

a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch (Fig. A). A

temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in Fig. B may

be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Fig. B,

if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter

should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Fig. A) can be

installed by a qualiﬁ ed electrician. The green colored rigid ear, or lug

extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground

such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is

used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

1. Plug into properly grounded

outlet.

2. Turn the unit on using the on/off

switch. Allow a few minutes at

the start of each session for

bulbs to achieve full illumination.

3. Gently wash the affected parts

of the skin with a neutral PH

soap and dry the skin.

4. Place the goggles (supplied)

over your eyes, position yourself

within 6 inches of the front of

the ClearWave

(Figure 1).

5. Turn your face occasionally to

ensure overall exposure.

6. Based on research, a 15 minute

session daily for 8–12 weeks

should produce the desired

results.

7. While using ClearWave

you may talk on the phone,

meditate, or listen to music.

8. When ﬁ nished with the

session, turn ClearWave

off,

remove goggles, and unplug

ClearWave

from the wall.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Standing the ClearWave

on a Table Top

Unfold the stand on back of lamp

(Figure 3) and place the ClearWave

on a stable, ﬂ at surface.

Transporting the Unit

The ClearWave

is very light and easy to carry.

There is a convenient handle located on the

back (Figure 4).

BULB REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Opening the

Lens Cover

Place the ClearWave

on its

back on a large ﬂ at surface.

Press down gently on the

center of the lens cover. (See

Figure 5). This releases the

locking tabs located under

the grey handles. Open the

lens cover by grasping the

grey handles with your hands.

Remove the lens and gently

place it next to the unit with

the logo face up.

Step 2: Opening the

Bulb Clips

Locate the clear plastic clips

across each ﬂ uorescent tube

(Figure 6). Put a ﬁ nger under

the clear plastic clip on the

outer side and pull up (See

Figure 7). The clip should pop

open. Repeat on other side.

Step 3: Removing Bulbs

Gently lift the ﬂ uorescent tube up

and out of the clip holder. Grasp

the tube by the white plastic base

with the Verilux

logo and remove

the tube from the socket by pulling

the tube towards the black cushion

pads. (See Figure 8). Repeat

removal of the second bulb.

Step 4: Installing New Bulbs

Ensure the ClearWave

is on its

back on a large ﬂ at surface. Hold

the ﬂ uorescent tubes by the white

plastic base, not the glass. Ensure

the Verilux

logo is facing up. Line

up the pins on the base of the

ﬂ uorescent tube with the holes

in the socket. Gently push the

bulb into the socket until it snaps

securely in place. Repeat on other

side.

Bulb Disposal: All ﬂ uorescents contain some amount of mercury.

Some states have special requirements regarding their disposal.

Please go online to: www.lamprecycle.org or call

1-866-300-5606 for more information.

BULB REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS

Step 5: Closing the Bulb Clips

Ensure the plastic bulb clips are

centered on the white protective

bands. Gently push on the upper

portion of the ﬂ uorescent tube

until it slides snuggly into the

clear plastic clip. Close the clip

over the tube. The clip will click

when fastened. Repeat on other

side. (Figure 9).

Step 6: Replacing the Lens

Cover

Align the lens cover over the

open face of the unit with the

ClearWave

logo at the bottom of

the lamp. Place your thumbs one

inch beyond the grey handles

towards the center of the unit

while your other ﬁ ngers grasp

under the lip of the grey handles

(see Figure 10). Pull outward

with your ﬁ ngers while pushing

down on the lens with your

thumbs. Release your ﬁ ngers to

snap the lens into place.

Plug your ClearWave

into an

electrical socket and turn it on to

ensure the bulbs were properly

installed into their sockets. If the

bulbs do not illuminate, ensure

the bulbs are fully seated into the

sockets.

CARE & CLEANING

Your ClearWave

Deluxe Phototherapy Skincare System is made from

high quality materials that will last for many years with minimum care.

You may want to periodically clean the inside of the lens and outside

parts, using a mild non-abrasive cleaner and soft cloth. When cleaning,

make sure you have turned off and unplugged the unit, and allowed

sufﬁ cient time for the unit to cool.

DO NOT USE SOLVENTS OR CLEANERS CONTAINING

ABRASIVES, OR AMMONIA BASED CLEANERS

Cleaning the lens is important for maintaining optimum light output.

Periodically remove the lens (refer to lens removal instructions) and

clean with soft damp cloth. All liquid should be properly wiped away

and dried prior to restoring power.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Light ﬂ ickers.

If bulb ﬂ ickers when turned on,

the bulb is not seated fully into the

socket. If this occurs, repeat the

bulb installation process applying

additional force to ensure that the

bulb is inserted fully into the socket.

Does not illuminate.

Make sure that the bulbs are

secured into the sockets.

Sometimes in shipping they

will come loose. Try a different

grounded outlet. In many cases,

this will correct the problem.

IMPORTANT – Grounded outlets

must be used for proper function

of the unit. If both bulbs do not

illuminate when you apply power,

this may indicate an internal

problem. Please call Verilux

Customer Service at

1-888-544-4865.

See Warranty section.

Only one bulb illuminates.

If only one bulb illuminates, it

is most likely a bad bulb.Try

swapping bulbs and turn on again.

If the same bulb fails to illuminate

in the swapped position, the bulb

needs to be replaced.

Bulb blackening at the ends.

This is a common phenomenon

with most ﬂ uorescent tubes as they

age. The black areas don’t affect

operation except to slightly reduce

the amount of light available since

the phosphor in that area is dead.

Bulb replacement is recommended.

NOTICE – When returning a unit,

be aware that damage during

shipping is the responsibility of

the purchaser and will void any

warranty claim.We recommend

that you purchase insurance when

shipping this unit or any parts. Be

sure to return product in original

packaging.
